For a taste of luxury shopping and entertainment, we're heading to Villaggio Mall.
I found Uber as one of the reliable and economical way of commutation within city of Doha. Costs of using Uber is on par with India
Villaggio mall is strategically located in the Aspire Zone, near Sports City, making it easily accessible from various parts of Doha
Villaggio Mall is renowned for its Venetian-inspired architecture. The mall's design resembles a lavish Italian village, complete with an indoor canal featuring gondolas, cobblestone streets, and a ceiling painted to resemble a sky. This architectural marvel creates an ambiance of opulence and elegance
The mall houses a diverse range of luxury brands, international retailers, and local boutiques, making it a premier shopping destination in Doha.
Since it was lunch time, I headed to restaurant named Wok of Fame inside Villagio Mall. This restaurant provides international buffet at reasonable rate. Next, let's take a leisurely stroll along the Doha Corniche. This picturesque waterfront promenade offers stunning views of the city skyline and the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf.
It's a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, especially during the evenings when the skyline lights up.
As the sun sets, Doha transforms into a mesmerizing city of lights. The skyline comes alive with dazzling skyscrapers and beautifully illuminated landmarks, creating a magical atmosphere perfect for an evening stroll or a dinner with a view
We're now at The Pearl-Qatar, an artificial island renowned for its luxurious residential complexes, upscale shopping, and dining options.
Situated off the coast of Doha, The Pearl-Qatar spans approximately 4 million square meters and is shaped like a string of pearls.
Constructed on reclaimed land, it was envisioned as an exclusive and upscale residential, commercial, and entertainment district. A must visit place for any tourist visiting Qatar.
Speaking of dining experiences, Petra Restaurant is a culinary delight offering authentic Middle Eastern cuisine from Jordan and Lebanon
The restaurant features a diverse array of signature dishes, including falafel, mezze platters, grilled meats, kebabs, hummus, tabbouleh, stuffed vine leaves, and more.
On Day 2 of my stay at Qatar, I started off with visit to Museum of Islamic Art at Doha.
For art enthusiasts, the Museum of Islamic Art is an absolute gem.
It is an architectural masterpiece and a cultural gem that houses one of the world's most extensive collections of Islamic art.
The Museum of Islamic Art showcases a diverse and expansive collection of Islamic art spanning over 1,400 years.
The collection includes manuscripts, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, jewellery, glass, and more.
Artefacts hail from various regions, representing the cultural diversity of the Islamic world, including artefacts from the Middle East, North Africa, Spain, and Central Asia.
Situated on its own man-made peninsula, the museum offers breath-taking views of the Doha skyline and the Arabian Gulf.
No trip to Doha is complete without experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of Souq Waqif.
This traditional market is a melting pot of culture, offering everything from spices and traditional garments to handicrafts and souvenirs.
The aroma of spices and the bustling ambiance create an unforgettable experience.
The elegant rooms and top-notch amenities make it an ideal choice for travellers seeking a blend of luxury and relaxation. If you are missing Indian food, then Al Mansoura Street which is about 10 minutes walk from Holiday Villa Hotel. You can enjoy your food at ultra small Indian restaurants named Chennai or Dilwale among others.
Other option is you can download talabat app and order food as per your choice and convenience.
